Actually, we got to the Lake Wave guesthouse by mistake: our tuk-tuk driver misunderstood us, while talking about where to go. After checking out the place, we were quite happy about this error: the place is nice for the price, I enjoyed sitting next to the lake and birdwatching early in the morning very much. The food was very nice,... More

We stayed in Lake Wave Hotel in Anuradhapura in March 2013 and really enjoyed our stay! The owners are extremely nice and helpful with absolutely everything. In Sri Lanka, you will find that a lot of people will try to rip you off for your money and such, but our hosts were very helpful and offered tours for relatively fair... More

We were travelling as a family of four (kids aged 7 & 9), read about lake wave in the rough guide so called them and sent them an email to confirm, in their response they wrote that their place was great for kids, they should have written that its great for everyone. The location is good, directly on a lake... More

My son, friend, and I stayed at the hotel not planning to stay but one night and ended up staying three nights and I came back at the end of my trip to Shri Lanka for two more nights. We really enjoyed the person service, great home made food, and nice host and staff. These folks went way out of... More

Hammocks,tables by the lake. Shade of trees. Good place for having beer after a hot day in town. Rooms are ok. Food is delicious. They rent bicycles. Boss is very friendly and will tell you everythig you need to know about the city,temples.. Probably the best place for backpackers in town.

The room was very basic. Everything and special the bed was wet ! After 3 days biking we want to sleep in a dry bet but it was'nt possible. We couldn't sleep. Our plan was staying 2 nights but we go after 1 night. It was a family guesthouse , they do the best for us .... the dinner was... More

An extremely friendly tuk tuk driver put us onto Lake Wave after telling us our first choice was terrible and insisting that he could do a better deal for us. He was right and we found ourselves in this little oasis of calm backing right onto the lake. The hotel really is more like a homestay as we quickly felt... More

If you're a backpacker, go there. If you're a traveller, go there. If you're a tourist, go somewhere else and leave lake wave for the good guys :) Nice place directly at a little lake with a well informed and intelligent owner who is always around talking to the guests. Also nice evenings where all guests sit together for dinner... More

We spent three weeks in Sri Lanka, travelling on public transport and staying in guest houses. We absolutly loved Lake Wave Hotel. All the Tuk-tuk drivers tried to take us to Lake View but after insisting we managed to get to Lake Wave Hotel, a lovely family owned hotel looking over the lake. The location is great and the owners... More
